#2Their official benchmarks => https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html
According to PassMark CPU Benchmarks, a trusted source, updated frequently, the M3 Max 16 Core is the fastest single thread cpu with a score of 4,785, followed by the M3 Max 14 Core with a score of 4,771.
Although the numbers above are close, it does not make much sense to me that a chip with more CPUs will be faster on single thread performance than the same chip with less CPUs. But I can be wrong.
Also, according to this list, even the M3 8 Core beats the M4 chips (Pro and Max included). Again on single thread performance.
Am I missing something or the M3 for single thread performance is faster than the M4?
I can't emphasize enough that I'm only talking about single thread performance here.

Sorry about that. I'm new here. Would you be so kind as to tell me what I did wrong? I'll be happy to correct it and learn not to do it again.

It's in the thing I linked, which you should read when you get a chance. On HN, you can't put your comment in the title - use the original title unless the original title is misleading or clickbait.

I see. Sorry about that. Won't be putting any more comments in the title. Thanks for your guidance.
I HAVE NOW CHANGED THE TITLE => Thanks again!

4785 versus 4771 feels like it's within the bounds of run to run variance

Agree! But how about the M3 8 Core (4754) beating the M4 Max 14 Core (4614)? I thought the M4s were faster than the M3s (single core / single thread), but it looks like they will only be faster on multi core / multi thread benchmarks. I would think that the sheer speed of a CPU is the single core / single thread performance number.
